Nice! Those will not only make the truck look great, but will give nice bite. I loved the no BS look of the trucks of the Rockies region when I spent time there in 40-45 years ago. Down in the flatland towns you might see some ranchers in for supplies, but mostly the chrome jobs cruising about. In the hills it was tall skinnies, winch, headache rack, and maybe you'd notice headers and a deeper tone from the pipes.
Back in the 1970s I knew lots of folks still running the flat fender jeeps with the narrow tires. Most of the trails were rocky (Rocky Mountains, you know ) so the narrow tires could go around and between the rocks instead of jumping over everything. Some of those shelf trails were so narrow that you didn't want wide tires because your inside tires would be pushing you off the outside where there was maybe a 1000 foot drop.

Of course that was back before all the idiots in the high horsepower murdercycles and later ATVs started roostertailing the trails to the point the now exposed rocks were the size of refrigerators

Heck, we drove our old VW Bug on many of those jeep roads. The only trouble was when we would get way up high in the thin air and just didn't have enough horsepower and/or gears to climb the hills.

Things out here really haven’t changed much, I’m surrounded by the Rockies in three different directions and the trucks sound pretty much the same, just in modern form.

I thought it was kind of weird when I first came here to see all the headache racks. 90% of trucks new and old here have headache racks. Lots of ranch hand bumpers and winches too. Don’t forget the flatbreads, lots and lots of flatbreads too. I still rock my east coast style more often than not.
There is a certain coolness to look of the trucks around here. It’s pretty normal to see cattle/horse Ranchers and rodeo people rolling around in High country’s, denali’s, king ranch’s, and Laramie Longhorns, with a brand new aluminum flat bed and winch bumper, working those loaded trucks like they we’re built to be worked. There’s not anywhere near as many garage queens out here, as there are at home. Trucks do work here.
